Tech·Ed 2007 - Day 5: IPsecapalooza 2007 (recap)

Day 5 (which was yesterday) was rough one.  I'd been fighting a cold for most of my visit here in FLA, and it came back to haunt me during my last session Thursday afternoon.

I did a spiel about how you can simplify your Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 based Server and Domain Isolation deployments with the nearly a year old Simple Policy Update.  Although it started off well, my energy level did slump a little bit towards then end, which likely explains this comment from one participation:

"speaker was to [sic] mono toned and was hard to keep focused."

Yup, I was a bit out of it, but I do appreciate all the feedback and the decent evaluation scores.  Next time, I'll be sure to chug my Emergenc-C before coming down to TechEd 2008 (or whatever conference).

Nonetheless, we discussed why you should even think about IPsec to help address all that craziness today's world of networking has brought on. I did a quick demo of Server and Domain Isolation, and closed with a bunch of stuff on the Simple Policy Update.

After the session, I did about a 30 minute stretch at the booth and went back to the hotel to rest.

Before I left, I was notified by one of my "booth babes" (it might have been Sean (again)) that my Server and Domain Isolation collateral had the wrong URL (i.e. a typo) on the front side:

Ugh.

Good news, the link on the backside (http://www.microsoft.com/sdisolation) does work.  Or you can just click on this one.

Changing subjects for one moment: I'm at the Yellow TLC (a near-ghost town) with less than 10 minutes left before the show floor closes.  We're almost done with TechEd 2007!
